Because I (and others) have been waiting for something worthwhile since the early 2000's. And while the park get tidbits of this and that (yes, we are not ignored), nothing substantial has yet to come to this park. It is infuriating to see other regional parks get all these great installs and we get used hand me downs or boring flats (which I know are important). So then drive my family to KI, HW, or SDC ... which I am happy to do. One long weekend at those parks is better than a season pass at SFSTL. I still cannot believe they haven't replaced the Bumper Cars! I know the old ones had to go... but aren't you gonna replace them??? Things like this show corporate isn't thinking out this park completely. SFSTL is just an afterthought.

If WOF gets a new Coaster (of any sorta magnatude) before SFSTL, then that will be the final nail of the coffin.

..and that 2 minute high-adventure of the Moon Cars, that's worth the Price of Admission right there! I hear next year you will ride the track backwards! Moon Cars - Reverse Crawl

But the Ninja and Boomerang ... how can you walk away from those high-tech scream machines!

You all been talking and hyping yourselves up sooo much, I just hope you are not disappointed when all is revealed. ...Like Christmas morning when you didn't get everything that you put on the List

Still thinking it will be like Verbolten

The Ninja and the Moon's will ride another year! Awesome!!!!

A Star Trek 'Beaming' pad which will send you directly to Holiday World to ride their new Coaster (and whatever else is up their sleeve)

Okay... so I will throw it out there. Any chatter about 2015 yet?

I would be surprised (shocked!) if Gwazi was replaced with another Woodie.

If SFSTL gets really wild, they can pull the Moon Cars with the Mules too. Save on Gas money

They are Ill-Tempered Mules

I aint no Fool, I rode the Iron Mule!

I haven't read every post on the HW forum lately but I still think it will be like Verbolten. Lots of theming with a Show Bldg for the heavy Storms they keep talking about on 66days

I saw that episode too. Has the Boss ever been on ICW?

I went to Busch Gardens Tampa yesterday. Had a great time until the Storms arrived at about 5 pm. Anyhow... BG has no metal detectors at the entrance, just a quick bag check. This was also true for Disneyland last summer. Why does SFSTL need such a evasive 'search' with metal dectectors?? If neither BG or Disney feels they are not necessary, then Six Flags should reconsider there use. I believe King's Island doesn't use them either.

Much of SFSTL acreage is on a hill which makes it hard to develop. Surprised that haven't sold some of it off honestly

I find it funny that the Coaster Capital of Missouri doesn't even have a decent Kiddie coaster for the youngsters. I would have rather seen a custom Kid Coaster instead of Boomerang. I agree with your Family Park comments but where are the Family rides - Bumper Cars, Traditional Swings, etc. I can't imagine anyone riding the Moon Cars feeling satisfied when they step off the ride - Was that it!?

Dungeon Drop and what else??? A few Kiddie rides, then something from that other Texas Park

Great analysis... I wasn't thinking about the clues in that regard, but it sure makes a lot of sense now. Very cool stuff indeed.

I agree with you but we did get Batman, Freeze and HH in the 90's. ...The Boss was a disappointment when everyone else was getting Hypers and other monster coasters. Then we got all of Astrowold's used rides.

I think you answered your own question.

I have said it before and I will say it again ... if you build it, they will come. People have argued with me, but those arguments have not swayed my opinion. Those folks say SFSTL must earn the attendance first - nah, no way. The park is 42 years old, there is nothing else to earn. It needs some major capital investment and quick. The park is well into its lifespan, its senior years. It needs a re-birth, otherwise it will stay stagnant and eventually close or go under different mgmt.

I know... imagine that! and that amazing Moon Car ride ... people should be lined up back to Hwy 44!

That's ashame. The park needs a facelift in a bad way. There is no excitement or buzz.
